Carlos Henrique Casemiro, Brazilian midfielder, He lamented that it was in their “hands” and that they “escaped” from going through to the semifinals of the World Cup in Qatar after conceding a goal from Croatia in the 117th minute of extra time.
“All losses hurt, especially when you have a goal, a dream; there are four years of work for that time. It’s hard to find words. We just have to keep our heads up and move on. We are sad, everyone in the group gave their best. We are angry, especially because of what happened. It is in our hands, it has escaped us. It’s a difficult moment. Now we have to stay calm, life must go on,” said Casemiro.
The midfielder appreciates the fact that Brazil have been eliminated in every tie against a European team since they won their fifth title in the final against Germany in 2002. “It’s normal. Europe has more teams in the competition, so you play against European teams more often. As the competition tightens, more European teams enter. But I don’t think there are always teams in Europe. We do our job, we believe in it, with a good atmosphere, but these are the things that happen in football. We just have to keep our heads up and move on”, he commented.
Also, Casemiro has confirmed that he wants to continue with the national team.
“I am 30 years old. Of course, there are always young people, but I am 30 years old, I am in the best moment of my career, I’m very happy with the club I’m at. I lost my chance, but we have to see, especially with a new coach coming,” he said, also referring to the fact that Tite has already warned that he will leave the post after the World Cup.
